Comments Thread For: Arum Shreds Sky Sports: What They Are Doing in UK is an Absolute Disgrace!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum has launched an attack on Sky Sports for their decision to have three pay-per-view shows between now and the end of the year, accusing the network of a "money grab" and saying it was "immoral" to charge people extra to watch boxing when so many are suffering financially during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Cause of the football. Without the Premier League rights Sky would be f***ed.

I hope Amazon come in hard when they next get renewed. Sky are f***ing mercenaries.

Btw, https://boxrec.com/en/event/818305 look at the state of that card too. I could pay their purses.

What's funny is Bob framing this as though he's concerned for poor boxing fans and not just another stab at Hearns hahaha

How? they've been getting some of the biggest live crowds and PPV numbers in the history of UK boxing. Joshua is probably the biggest British boxing star and draw ever.

$35.00 versus $75.00+...........Correct me if I am wrong but in Europe you pay less than half what we pay for PPV here in the states. Bob Arum should adopt that model. Stop raising the PPV prices and more people will watch. Make your product affordable not unobtainable.

He's talking about Loma Lopez being free on ESPN in the U.S. but he is still charging U.K. fans to watch it on fite tv. So he's gouging UK fans in order to cover costs.

You can't reason with Hearn haters

I don't know what it is about him but he just stirs some people up like you wouldn't belive, personally I don't mind him but he does have this weird effect on quite a lot of people.
